District of Columbia Delmarva Power Utility Deposit Bond
Overview
Asked by Delmarva Power to post a security deposit before starting or restoring electric service in the District of Columbia? A surety bond gives you a faster, smarter alternative. Instead of handing over hundreds of dollars in cash that sits tied up for months, you post this bond and keep your money. Delmarva Power gets the financial protection it requires, and you get your service activated without draining your account.
Who Needs This Bond?
Residential customers, small business owners, and commercial tenants in the District of Columbia who have been told by Delmarva Power that a security deposit is required before service can begin or be restored — those are the people this bond is built for. If your credit history triggered a deposit requirement when you applied for a new account, this bond is your alternative. If your service was interrupted and reinstatement comes with a deposit condition, this bond solves that problem.
What is this Bond For?
This bond functions as a financial guarantee in place of a cash deposit. Delmarva Power is protected against unpaid bills or account defaults — the bond covers those losses up to the bond amount. You, as the utility customer, are the principal on the bond, and you remain responsible for paying your bills in full. The bond simply allows you to avoid locking up cash with the utility company while your account is active.
When is it Required?
Right at the point of application — when Delmarva Power reviews your account request or reinstatement and determines a deposit is required — that is when this bond becomes relevant. The utility will notify you of the deposit requirement before service is activated. You can present this bond in place of the cash deposit, satisfy the requirement, and move forward with getting your power turned on.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to Delmarva Power utility accounts located within the District of Columbia service territory. It is issued to satisfy Delmarva Power's deposit requirement and is not transferable to accounts with other utilities. If you have service in DC through Delmarva Power and have been asked for a deposit, this is the correct bond.
